How do I use MCP Presidio Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type `@` followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "`@MCP Presidio Server` anonymize the password 'mySecret123' in this session" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a [step-by-step guide with screenshots](https://glama.ai/blog/2025-07-08-how-to-install-and-use-mcp-servers).

MCP Presidio Server (Anonymize/Deanonymize)

This project exposes the same functionality via MCP tools and FastAPI endpoints.

Quickstart

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # on Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Endpoints

POST /session -> { "session_id": "<uuid>" }
POST /anonymize body:

{ "session_id": "uuid", "messages": [{"content": "Secret is 123, password=foo"}] }

returns anonymized messages and stores mapping for the session.

POST /deanonymize body:

{ "session_id": "uuid", "text": "<<CUSTOM_TOKEN_0>> is 123, <<pass_pattern_...>>" }

MCP server

Run the stdio MCP server:

python mcp_server/server.py

Register it in your MCP-compatible client pointing to this command.

Notes

Storage uses SQLite at app/data.db with tables sessions and mappings.
Custom patterns mirror the code you provided; add more Presidio recognizers as needed.
Placeholders look like <<ENTITY_#>> and are reversible per session_id.
